costs and future interest rates. The City's share of the loan for the FY 2017-18 WOCWB budget,
including the reserve requirement, is estimated to be $398,554, to be appropriated from the Water
Master Plan Fund (507) undesignated, unreserved fund balance and expended from account

Meeting Date; 11/20/2017
Analysis:
The WOCWB is a Joint Powers Authority comprised of the Cities of Garden Grove, Seal Beach,
Westminster, and Huntington Beach. The WOCWB owns and operates the OC-9 and OC-35 water
transmission mains that extend from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California
transmission main in the City of Stanton, in a southerly direction through the member cities
terminating in the City of Huntington Beach on Newland Street and Springdale Street. Water
purchased from the Municipal Water District of Orange County is transported through the pipelines
to numerous member agency connections providing treated imported water when required.
Huntington Beach owns 56.1 percent of the system. The WOCWB is governed by five elected
officials from each of the Joint Powers agencies. Council Member Jill Hardy and Mayor Pro Tern
Mike Posey represent the City of Huntington Beach on the Board. The City of Huntington Beach
serves as the General Manager, operations and engineering staff, and financial agent for the
Board.
During the utility investigation phase of the 1-405 Freeway Widening Project, OCTA identified the
WOCWB's 33-inch OC-35 pipeline that crosses beneath the freeway and is parallel to, and on the
south side of the Westminster Blvd. bridge. This pipeline was constructed in 1963, during the early
phases of the construction of the freeway. In order to protect the pipeline and allow for access and
removal in case of pipeline failure, many sections of the pipeline were encased in a 45-inch pipeline
(casing) wherever it crossed beneath the freeway or any of the freeway's onramps and offramps.
OCTA notified the WOCWB staff with information on the proposed bridge improvements and
informed staff that the WOCWB would have to prove to OCTA and Caltrans that the WOCWB
pipeline has occupancy rights dating back to 1952 (65 years ago), when the freeway alignment was
approved by the State of California. If WOCWB could not prove that the 33-inch line had "prior
rights", any costs related to protecting, relocating or abandoning the line would have to be paid for
by the WOCWB. According to Caltrans statute, it is up to the agency being impacted to prove
occupancy rights.
Public Works staff from the cities of Huntington Beach and Westminster searched for any
documents that would address the occupancy issue, finding an encroachment permit but no
easement. Therefore, the WOCWB pipeline has no occupancy rights and all costs relating to
relocating the pipeline would be the responsibility of the WOCWB.
Extensive review of the bridge widening plans and the as -constructed plans for the 33-inch pipeline
led to the conclusion that the 53 year old pipeline should be relocated. A number of alternative
locations were evaluated and a consulting engineering firm with extensive pipeline and Caltrans
experience was utilized to review the work and develop relocation cost estimates for the most
favorable alternates.
The WOCWB Board approved the findings of the engineering evaluation and approved the
recommendation to relocate the underground pipeline crossing of the 1-405 Freeway approximately
400 feet to the south (see attached). The new alignment will require the installation of
approximately 2,400 feet of new 33-inch cement mortar lined and coated steel pipe. The 280 feet
of the 33-inch line that will be under the freeway will be protected within a 45-inch steel casing pipe
that will be installed utilizing micro -tunneling techniques. No surface construction will occur within
the freeway right-of-way,
On October 31, 2017, the bid opening was held, with the lowest bid coming in at $5,129,705 for
construction costs. OCTA adds 12% for project management, inspection and material testing costs
plus a 10% contingency, which brings the total estimated project cost to $6,258,240. The City of
Garden Grove will be paying their $262,846 share (4.2%) up front and not participating in the loan.
HB -127- Item 12. - 2
Dept. ID PW 17-059 Page 3 of 4
Meeting Date: 11/20/2017
The entire project is located Within the City of Westminster. Businesses and residents Will be
impacted during the construction of the pipeline (and the freeway improvements). Their Public
Works staff has been extremely helpful and supportive throughout the project attending meetings,
providing infrastructure information, performing plan review and other activities.
WOCWB has an annual budget of $91,000 for fiscal year 2017/18 and typically budgets $150,000
for annual maintenance, operating, utilities, legal and insurance costs. The Board has a reserve of
$400,000. If each member agency were to pay the entire cost of the project without financing,
some agencies might need to raise rates in order to meet their obligations. Therefore, the Board
has negotiated a reimbursement agreement with OCTA to finance construction of the project, as
well as two related agreements.
OCTA UTILITY AGREEMENT
In order to qualify for the construction loan, OCTA requested that the WOCWB sign a Utility
Agreement (UA), attached. WOCWB counsel has reviewed the UA and found no major issues. The
City of Huntington Beach City Attorney's Office and members of the Board's counsels were also
given the opportunity to review and comment on the UA. The Utility Agreement was approved by
the Board at the October 18, 2017, regular meeting.
OCTA REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT (LOAN)
Following numerous discussions with OCTA staff concerning the terms of the loan, OCTA staff
prepared Reimbursement Agreement No. U-2017-151087, attached. The OCTA loan would include
the following terms:
• The term would be for a period not to exceed 10 years
• Interest would be charged at the rate of earnings equal to the State of California Surplus
Money Investment Fund (SMIF) which stands at 1.069%
• The variable interest rate is adjusted quarterly
• Payments would be made on a quarterly basis
• There is no prepayment penalty
• The loan may include the construction, project management, inspection and material testing
costs plus a 10% contingency
The OCTA loan can only be made available to the WOCWB. Individual cities are not eligible to
obtain a project loan on their own. An initial Reimbursement Agreement for $4.7 million was
approved by the WOCWB at the October 18, 2017 regular meeting. Following the October 31,
2017, bid opening, the WOCWB submitted a request to OCTA to amend the Reimbursement
Agreement by up to $1.3 million, for a total of up to $6 million for the realignment project. The
WOCWB will consider the amendment for the additional $1.3 million at a special meeting in
December 2017.
The following table shows the breakdown of the estimated loan amount.

*The City of Garden Grove will be paying their share in full prior to the beginning construction, but will sign the agreement
so that they are obligated to pay their portion of any unforeseen contingencies.
WOCWB Financial Participation Agreement
This agreement will also be considered for approval at a WOCWB special meeting in December.
The Financial Participation Agreement is between an individual member agency and the Board. It
obligates each member agency to pay their allotted share of the project costs and provides
safeguards for the Board should an agency be unable to pay their entire amount. As this is a low
interest loan — currently 1.069% -- staff believes financing this project will allow the City to pay for
this project in a timely manner without needing to reprioritize other water infrastructure projects,
Should interest rates rise, there is no prepayment penalty and the City could pay off its obligations
before accruing substantial interest costs.
Funds for this agreement were not included in the Fiscal Year 2017/18 approved budget as the
agreement and funding should be approved in concert with each other.
WOCWB Fiscal Year 2017-18 Budget
The City of Huntington Beach serves as the fiscal agent for the WOCWB. As such, any
amendments to the approved WOCWB must also be approved by the City in order for the City's
Finance Department to be able to process those payments. The budget amendment authorizes
spending up to $6,258,240 on project costs, and $512,260 for debt service. Likewise, the amended
budget recognizes the receipt of up to a $5,995,394 loan from OCTA and up to $943,444 in
payments from the member agencies for the loan reserve requirements, payments for three fiscal
year quarters, as well as the entire share of the City of Garden Grove's portion of the project costs.

given to WOCWB, or City, as applicable; provided, however, that if the failure stated in the
notice cannot be corrected within such period, then the applicable Party shall not unreasonably
withhold its consent to an extension of such time if corrective action is instituted by the
defaulting Party within such period and diligently pursued until the default is corrected.

WOCWB is intended to be exclusive and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement, or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall
be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to
time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle WOCWB to exercise any
remedy reserved to it, it shall not be necessary to give any notice other than such notice as may
be required in this Article or by law.

given or action taken under the provisions of this Article IV shall be deposited into the

DESCRIPTION OF RELOCATION FACILITIES
The Orange County Transportation Authority's I-405 Freeway Widening Project requires the
WOCWB to relocate approximately 2,400 feet of its 33-inch OC-35 transmission pipeline where
it traverses beneath the freeway immediately to the south of the Westminster Boulevard bridge
between the intersections of Willow Lane and Westminster Blvd. and the intersection of
Springdale Street and Westminster Blvd.
The new pipeline will extend south from Westminster Boulevard along Willow Lane to the cul-
de-sac at the end of Willow Lane on the northeast side of the I-405 Freeway. The pipeline will
then cross beneath the freeway in a steel casing pipe to the intersection of Willow Lane and
Mahogany Avenue on the southwest side of the freeway. From that point the pipe will then
extend to the intersection of Mahogany Avenue and Springdale Street where it will connect to
the OC-35 pipeline.

Hi Brian,
I just wanted to follow-up on our conversation regarding the 405 Freeway Facilities Relocation Financial Participation
Agreement. In order to execute the agreement, we need to state the date of the OCTA Agreement (on page 3 of the

Thanks!
